The staffs of the English militia are immediately to be augmented to the disembodied establishment, as pointed out by the 83d clause of the General Militia Act of the 42d of George 111., c. 90, which directs that one sergeant and one corporal be appointed to every 30 men, and one drum mer to every company, with an additional one to each flank company. This is with a view to give aid and assistance to the civil power, and to be in readiness to train the men, it being intended to re-organize the militia early in the spring.— Times. On Friday last, at four o'clock in the morning, as the Paris patroles were going their rounds, they met in the Rue Montmartre a personage of dignified appearance promenading with a shirt for his only clothing. The com manding officer addressed some questions to this awful apparition, but they were received with the natural and mute contempt of superior beings for vulgar mortals. The patrole then submitted to escorting the silent unknown, first to the guard-house, from which they conveyed him be fore M. Petit, the Commissary of Police. There he at last condescended to clothe his thoughts in words. ‘. Wh o art thou ?" said M. Petit. "lam a man, and even born a man," answered the hitherto silent genius, "but I possess universal science, and with one word of mine I could con vert you into a toad !" We need not add, that after so awful a communication the magistrate lost no time in having the wanderer conveyed to a place of retirement and safety. PIIILIIARMONIC.—A General Meeting of this Society was held on Monday evening, at the Hanover square Rooms, for the purpose of electing a Director in the room of Mr. Moscheles, when Mr. Bishop was chosen. The Directors, therefore, are at present—Messrs. F. Cramer, Dance, Potter, T. Cooke, Willman, Anderson, and Bishop. Treasurer, 11r. Dance ; Secretary, Mr. W. Watts. A few days since one of the Exeter coaches, being a few minutes too late for the starting of the train from Hartley- row , did not reach London till two or t h ree hours after the time it used to arrive by its former mode of travelling. LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1838. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRAN CE. The Gazette of Languedoc has the following article : We have the following letter from the frontier :—" On the 18th inst., between 10 and 11 at night, the Cihristino soldiers, comprising the garrison of the Fort de Vielle, in the Valley of Oran, mutinied, and killed the Governor. After he had received several bayonet wounds, tho assas sins, seeing that he was still alive, killed him by discharging several muskets at him. The murderers then compelled their Captain to quit the fort, and to lead them to the Custom-house of Rossost, to take the money which might be there. On reaching that place, about five in the morning of the 19th, they took possession of the money in the cof fers of the Custom-house, and then went to rest themselves. The Captain remains ill at an inn at Rossost, in conse quence of the mental excitement caused by the fear of being assassinated. " This mutiny was caused by a reduction of pay, which. the Governor had thought proper to order for the sake of the inhabitants of the valley of Instead, of a franc per day, which was given to each soldier ; they were to have only 50 centimes." It does not appear that any other excesses were com mitted. At least on the 19th, in the evening, when our correspondent closed his letter, no news of any further event had been received ; but he adds :—" The Valley will be greatly to be pitied ; the Governor was an honest, quiet man, who molested no one, and an enemy to all kinds of excess. He will be, doubtless, succeeded by another who will not be so good as he." VIENNA, Nov. 17.—1 t is said that the Archduchess Hermine, daughter of the Archduke Palatine of Hungary, is to be Abbess of the Theresian Convent of Noble La dies (of St. George) at Prague. M. V. Ostini, the Luc chese Charge d'Affaires at Vienna, is gone to London, where the Duke of Lucca is said to intend to spend the winter. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, NOTEICIER 26.

The Royal Tar steamer, Captain Lewis, arrived at Falmouth on Monday morning, from the Peninsula, sailing from Gibraltar 16th, Cadiz 17th, Lisbon 20th, and Vigo 22d inst. We have received by her the following interest ing communication from our correspondent at Lisbon : LISBON, Nov. 20, EIGHT O'CLOCK, A.M.—We continue to hear of various depredations committed by the Miguelite bands, both in the Algarves as well as in the Alerntejo— for instance, a party of eighteen cavalry entered the district and village of Serpa on the 12th, wherein they plundered such of the Queen's partisans as were supposed to be wealthy, besides carrying away with them the horses and arms of the inhabitants, without excepting their own friends from this sort of forced contribution. An order has been issued at the Post-office to subject all newspapers published in the form of pamphlets, and which are forwarded to the provinces through that depart ment, to a rate of postage equal to one-half that which would be charged on letters of the like weight, instead of the trifling rate which all other newspapers pay. Viscount Sada Bandeira's instructions to Admiral No ronha, upon his departure to assume the command of the kingdom of Angola, have just been published, and they certainly do great credit to the noble and gallant author for the sincere wish which he appears to entertain for the gradual extinction of the slave trade, as well as for the means which he suggests should be adopted for bringing about the pro sperity of the colony by other commerce than that of slaves, and promoting every sort of agricultural pursuit. I am told Count Durosnel, previous to his departure, had the Grand Cross of the Tower and Sword conferred on him, and the star, with the diamonds thereon, as well as a gold snuff-box, with her Majesty's portrait thereon surrounded with brilliants. The members of the House of Braganza have ever been distinguished for the splendour of their presents. A laughable occurrence took place at the Royal chris tening. When the Royal cortege proceeded to the chapel in procession, the nobles of the kingdom, according to an cient practice, put on their hats, which being perceived by the President of the Municipal Chamber, he, conceiving that he might make use of the same privilege, put on his hat. Neither the entreaties of the Minister of the King.. dom, or of the Lords in Waiting, could prevail on the wor thy citizen to take it off. The Royal Tar steamer, from Gibraltar and Cadiz with only five passengers, proceeds this day for England. Exchange on London, 541. Price of bullion on • the advance. LISBON, Nov. 20, Eleven o'Clock A.M. The Royal Tar is still detained, though the mail has been sent on board long since, and I avail myself of the op portunity of acquainting you that it is generally believed that a financial negociation is in progress between the Minister of Finance and the Confianca Company, for the advance of a certain sum of money to Government by monthly instalments, as formerly, on the montgage of the Decima Tax and some other revenues, but not those of the Customs. Accounts from Oporto bring the news of the demise of that highly respectable and enlighted man, M. Jose Ferreira Borges, who was one of her Majesty's honorary Council lors of State. The dividends on the internal debt of the country con tinue to be paid tolerably regularly. The Oporto steamer which sailed from hence for that place on the 16th was compelled to proceed to Vigo, and the Quinta de Vesubia steamer, which was to have left Oporto on the 11th instant, still continues there, owing to the boisterous state of the weather. It is reported that two dismasted ships have been seen not far from Cape Rock. SPAIN. DEBATES IN THE CORTES. MADRID, Nov. 17.—N0 division in the Cortes having yet taken place, from which the opinion of that body on the formation of a now Cabinet might be inferred, and for which it is presumed the Queon is waiting, the Cortes, Government, and the country remain in much the same position as late letters left them. The Cortes, which have met daily during the week, are beginning to present at least that kind of interest which belongs to the consideration of subjects involving the happi ness and liberties of a people. Seldom were debates better calculated to show the awful effects bequeathed to a country, or to teach the world how the struggles of a nation may be defeated by domestic depravity and foreign intrigue. Not a minute devoted to discussion since Tuesday last but might be counted by some startling fact explanatory of the in ternal evils of the country, and their prolongation by ex ternal influences. The time of winding up a long account of mal-administrations at home, and of unveiling the state of the foreign relations of the Peninsula, would appear to have arrived, the ago of delusions and of masked corrup tion to have passed. The desire, and indeed the pow er to reveal the scandalous mismanagement of the military and financial resources of the country, as well as to place in its proper light the relative position of the kingdom with its allies are manifest. On the 15th, General Seoane drew attention to, and gave a true, but frightful, picture of the corrupt administration of the public funds. " The pub lic administration." he remarked, " was in the utmost dis order. It behoved the Congress to take steps to correct abuses. The deputies must have seen, with regret and scandal, the nation robbed of the fruits of its great sacri fices in blood and treasure through the ill-supplies of the army. While the latter was in want of every thing, there were some fifteen hundred or two thousand leeches spread over the Peninsula, but whose centre was in Madrid, ex hausting the resources of the country, and living in a state of scandalous luxury, while the poor people at wh ose expense all this was done were not able, many of them, to purchase seed for their fields. To these leeches it was necessary to apply a medicine to make them dis gorgeminor surgical their ill-gotten operations wealth, ionsi n a and Spain) not i d n o the o e way mp t t h y e barbers (who a re s till t h e persons who apply leeches and per f orm blood in or d er th at they may serve again ; but tthoemsenl them s ps;aropdaarhivudb eadernusde t cp. o e.f.ut t ao he prisons fully yoTt bmhi6eleeeopls,ppeu very o classes f yri a fikecde r t deraonytftohl. the ho erg thoseGta h o l ei Government es public robbers.untbht ml ecn tr t eh dependents pnh m eur no :r a duegw l nh at ass theirtmaabro e en na p y a , s s s o e m d e o o n f t t o he n m oti a c r e e tn p o aid eon in . tract made by Toreno with Rothschild for the products of the Almaden mines, which he denounced in the strongest terms. " He denounced," he said, " that individual from the tribune, and publicly called on him to quit the pleasures of the Parisian capital, and appear there to answer for his conduct before a tribunal of his countrymen. He reserved to himself the proper occasion to make the most important disclosures on this subject. It was also necessary," he continued. "to examine certain contracts and arrange ments recently made by the General Board of Revenue ; the Government had just entered into negotiation with the firms of Garinia (Treasurer to the Queen), Ramisa, and Bertadano, in which the Government, instead of receiving advances of money, were anticipating their own paper. Were these men his brothers or dearest friends he would persevere in probing these matters to the bottom." On the conclusion of General Seoane's speech, Senor Toniprado moved that the contracts for supplying the army before Morella be left on the table while the discus sion on the address to the throne was going on. Both this motion and that of General Seoane for the formation of the Committee to which he alluded in the early part of his speech were agreed to without a division. Senor Arguelles sarcastically remarked that the reason of Toreno's absence might be his considering himself sub ject only to a summons from her Majesty, he being now a Grandee of Spain! It being generally known that the discussion of the reply to the Speech from the Throne would be commenced yes terday, the saloon was densely crowded. The reply to the Speech from the Throne was read by one of the Secretaries. As this document is for the most part but an echo of the Royal Speech, I deem it unnecessary to encumber your pages with it, and shall only insert the " particular vote" of Seoane and Olozaga with which it concludes, and which is as follows : " Agreeing in the ideas contained in the preceding document, we have attached our names to it in conjunc tion with our esteemed and distinguished colleagues of the Committee ; bnt there being a difference of opi nion between us with respect to the insertion in that document of a clause against the expediency of entering into any compromise with Don Carlos, or any mem bers of his family, and believing, for reasons which we shall adduce in the course of the discussion, that it is of the utmost importance and most urgent necessity that the Congress of Deputies should declare this in the most solemn manner, we find ourselves compelled to propose to them that at the end of the second paragraph be added the following words :---‘ And to terminate a war in which no transactio n or compromise with the rebel Don Carlos, or his family, of any kind whatever, is deemed expedient.' (Signed) " ANTONIO SEONE, and SEBASTIANO OLOZAGA." When the Secretary concluded, it waslagreed that the reply should be discussed ensemble, and Senor Arguelles rose to address the Saloon. Having spoken for upwards of two hours, I can no more than glance at the numerous topics touched upon, and the more remarkable opinions ad vanced by him, in the course of a long and able discourse. Referring to the paragraph of the reply which alludes to the quadruple alliance, he complained that the ad vantages which were expected from the treaty had not been realized, and that lie would wish to see produced on the table of the Chamber all the diplomatic information connected with this subject. Were there grounds for complaining of the manner in which Great Britain dis charged her p ar t o f t h ese o bli gat i ons, as there were for complaining of the rest ? Certainly not. On the con trary there were abundant reasons to be gratified with the mode in which this nation had discharged her part of the task. It is true the obligations of the treaty are vaguely defined ; but for this very reason he was highly satisied with the Queen of Great Britain, because she had ren dered services which it would be the height of ingratitude to deny. Senor Arguelles was much applauded at the conclusion of his long and able discourse. The Minister, the Duke of Frias, now rose to reply to the observations of Arguelles. The reply, however, con sisted in little more than a narration of the circumstances under which the treaty was entered into, and qualifying it as purely conditional—rather a strange construction for a Spanish Minister to put on the document, but, of course, the best to escape the dilemma in which the remarks of Arguelles had placed the Duke and his French ally. Martinez de la Rosa ventured to differ from the Duke de Frias on the conditionality of the treaty, and seemed to think that it was not only obligatory on France, but that it had not discharged its obligations. To-day (Saturday) the Congress assembled again, and after the Committee of the last Session which had been nominated to consider the state of the finances of the country was authorised to continue its labours on the subject of equalizing the payment of salaries, the discussion of the reply to the Speech from the Throne was resumed by Senor Munoz Maldonado. Though a Moderado of the first class, and considered one of the Camarilla party, this Deputy took the same views of the reply as Senor Arguelles, and repeated many of his opinions. The Duke of Frias snd Senor Ponzoa, his colleague, The latter constitutionalput f ar Monarchies dth e ingenious be id in e g a the same, there was re ason to ex p ect that S p ain, which thatboth t replied.iie i n terests of all was a constitutional Monar ch y , would see the q uadru p le treaty fulfilled.

PRICE sd. consent being obtained, the Danube Steam Navigation Company wou ld willingly defray the whole expense of this national undertaking. As further indication of the decided preference given at Vienna to this new commercial route may be mentioned the intention the above-mentioned com pany has lately expressed of establishing in the beginning of spring a regular steam communication between Constan tinople and Kieustendjeh. Goods and passengers are to proceed in carriages and waggons from that port to Kara Sou, at eight leagues' distance. On this large lake, formed by the Danube, will be stationed a steam-boat, to convey passengers, &c., to the quarantine at Orsova. The Swedish Charge d'Affaires, Baron Troil, and his Lady, arrived here by the Galacz steam-packet on the 6th instant. The Persian Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, Hussein Mirza, arrived hem from Trebisond on the 4th instant. He is bearer of numerous presents from the Shah to the Queen and her Ministers. Among the 56 bales containing these marks of his Persian Majesty's re gard and urbanity is one enclosing 53 Cashmere shawls of exquisite beauty. The Secretary of Embassy, Mr. H. Bulwer, is on the eve of his departure for England. His successor, Mr. Bankhead, is shortly expected. Several small vessels belonging to the Capitan Pasha's squadron arrived here yesterday from Vourla. The rest of the division was to have left for Constantinople on the 4th inst. Admiral Gallois has suddenly been recalled to Toulon. Rear-Admiral Lalande will take the command of the French division in the Archipelago. The exchange of the ratifications of the articles of the commercial convention concluded between England and the Sublime Porte, which relate to exports, took place on the 4th inst. between Lord Ponsonby and Nourri Effendi. According to the latest intelligence from Circassia, the Russians had landed in considerable numbers in the neigh bourhood of Soudjouk Kaleb, and after a slight resistance on the part of the natives, who had intrenched them selves behind the ruins of this old fortress, taken possession of that spot. This fact, were fitther proof of the menda city of the assertion wanting, will best prove the degree of confidence Lord Palmerston was entitled to when he un blushingly informed the House that at the time of the cap ture of the Viven, in the bay of Soudjouk, this bay was in the possession of Russia. Advices from Servia of the 12th inst., state that Prince Ghika, the Hospodar of Wallachia, was shortly to under take a journey to Trieste, where he was to have an inter view with a well-known diplomatic personage. Fresh dis turbances had occurred at Delvino, in Albania, towards the latter end of October. Several lives were lost, but order was restored at the date of the last accounts. POLAND. We have received private letters from Warsaw, which convey the following :- 4 4 DECREE OF THE REGENCY OF WILNA. " In consequence of the discovery of a treasonable plot in the kingdom of Poland and the Western Provinces, the principal chief of which, Simon Konarski, is confined at Wilna, with his numerous accomplices, his Majesty the Emperor has deigned to order the immediate sequestration of the moveable and immoveable property of all the in dividuals who have taken part in that criminal and rebelli ous attempt (agreeably to the 225th Article of the Penal Code), and to direct that the said property be placed under the s urveillance of the fiscal administration, and that the measure be extended not only to those suspected of participation in the plot, who are already in safe keeping, but likewise to all persons who in the course of the prose cution may be mentioned (pomawiane) or accused, in order that the sequestration of the property may be simultane ously executed with the arrest of the individuals, &c. " Wilna, Oct. 11, 1838." This decree is followed by a list of fifteen citizens of Wilna who were thrown into prison, but persons just arrived from that city stated that when they left it no fewer than 300 had been arrested, many of them possibly for, that constructive offence of which the world will hear for the first time—" the mention of their names" in the course of the inquiries ordered by the Government. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7.—Fully convinced, as is ever y one engaged in the trade with the ports of the Danube, that, before eight years, the entrance of this river must inevitably become closed to merchant ships, unless the Russian Government be prevailed upon to lay aside its illiberal views, and employ means such as were constantly taken by the Turks, till the treaty of Adrianople deprived them of the possession of the Sulina mouth of the Danube, in order to prevent the formation of a bar across this outlet, great has been the satisfaction occasioned here by the state ment made by the English Ministerial papers, that the main object of the fourth article in the treaty of commerce and navigation concluded in September at Milan between Austria and Great Britain, is to defeat the hostile inten tions Russia did not scruple to manifest against a most im portant branch of the commerce of her allies from the day they were improvident enough to permit her, in violation of her most sacred mgagements, quietly to usurp so command ing a position. In virtue of the a bove-mentioned article, merchant vessels under the flag of either of the two con tracting Powers are in future on their arrival from the ports of the Danube at any of the ports of both countries to be subjected to the same duties as those paid by native ships. It is therefore evident, that either both Cabinets have pre vious to the framing of this article come to the dermination of acting in concert for the removal of the causes which threaten the navigation of the Danube with total annihila tion, or that it will shortly be but a dead letter. Lord Palmer ston appears in the present instance to be as loth as Prince Metternich to take the bull by the horns, and to have come to the resolution of altogether avoiding his prior encounter. Instead of addressing remonstrances to Russia, both these statesmen, it is s a id, have considered it fa r more p rudent and rati ona l t o extr i cate nav igation and themselves from the pres en t diffi cu l t i es , by a pplying to the Sultan for his sanction to the opening of a canal from the port of Kieustendjeh, in the Black Sea, to the Danube, near Tchernavoda, This communication, leaving aside its commercial advantages, to the Porte, would in a political light become one of so great advantage to Turkey, that it may c onfidently be presumed no objections to this proposal will be made by the Sul tan. The execution of a work whereby steam commu nication between the Turkish and Austrian capitals would be reduced from fourteen to ten days is so popular at Vienna, that it is thonght, in the 0110 t of the Sultan's GREECE. ATHENS, Nov. 9.—The King and Queen returned to the capital the evening before last. We understand that his Majesty has had enough of his trip to Roumelia. At Missolonghi he laid the first stone of a monument to Marco Bozzaris, but the numerous complaints he received against his government greatly spoiled the pleasure of his trip. We are now all expectation in hopes of a change, not only of Ministers, but of system. Party spirit never ran so high as at present. The partisans of Russia, not think ing themselves strong enough, have recently received a re inforcement in the shape of Greeks in the Russian service, on leave, who are travelling through the provinces. The King has a great deal to do : first, he has to give satisfaction to England for having allowed his Ministers to insult Sir E. Lyon in their answer to his demand of the reason why a groom of his had been arrested. Then comes the question of the interest of the loan ; and then the satis saction for the ill treatment divers British subjects have re ceived in the provinces, one of whom died in gaol from ill treatment at Patras. I don't think that the French have been worse treated in Mexico. Our authorities in Greece, however, are very active, and do all in their power to alle viate the grievances complained of. At home they think not enough of our interests abroai, From Syra they write thus—" A field officer, a subaltern, and six non-commissioned officers of Russian Engineers, are performing quarantine in our lazaretto on their way to Alexandria for the Pasha's service." The increase of travellers has been so great of late that a new and elegant hotel, called the " Queen Victoria," has been set up, at which Lord Fitzalan and a number of fo reigners of distinction are staying. We have also several families lately arrived to spend the winter, attracted by our fine climate. ABOLITION OF THE CORN-LAWS. MEETING IN BIRMINGHAM. On Monday last, a large and important meeting was held in the Town-hall, Birmingham, to hear a lecture from Mr. Paulton, on the subject of the Corn-laws, and the necessity of their abolition. A considerable number of the manufacturers, merchants, and other influential inha bitants of the town were present, upon whom the powerful and energetic appeal of the lecturer seemed to produce a deep impression. Joshua Scholefield, Esq., M.P., one of the members for the borough, presided ; and in intro ducing Mr. Paulton to the meeting observed, that they needed not the talents of that gentleman to convince the people of Birmingham of the enormous wickedness, cruelty, and injustice of the Corn-laws ; for it was quite clear an impost more foreign to every feeling of humanity could not enter into the breast of man, than to impose a tax on the bread of their fellow-creatures, a tax which fell heaviest on the poor. It inflicted sorrow and misery upon mil lions, while it benefited but a small number indeed. Mr. Paulton, on presenting himself to the meeting, was loudly cheered. He said in whatever view they looked upon the question of the Corn-laws, whether in reference to the suf ferings around them, or those of coming years ; whether they regarded it as a problem involving the safety of their commerce, or as one by which, to judge of the amount of the moral force of opinion, looking on any side of this great question, there was every probability of success attending their efforts, if they could only succeed in substantiating in the p u bli c m i n d a c l ear p erc eption of the amount of mi sery that flowed from its injustice. On these grounds he had taken up the subject. He deprecated no opinions — he simply claimed tolerance for his own. In calling upon the men of Birmingham to join him in the attainment of a great and common good, he sought not to involve them in questions of political or party purposes ; for the one before them resolved itself simply into a question of pounds, shillings, and pence. They must remember, at the same time, that although the bread tax was one of mere monetary consideration in its first consequences, that it was in its future operations a great moral and social question, involving the comfort and well-being of millions of their fellow-men. It was not a party question between Whigs and Tories, or Tories and Radicals, but simply a question between the aristocracy and the nation—between 30,000 landowners and 26,000,000 of men. The aristocracy and the people were distinct powers, and had distinct interests. To create and support the oligarchy of oppression, the people had shed their blood, and left their bones to bleach on almost every soil. The Lecturer proceeded to trace the history and progress of the nefarious system of legislation which had reduced the agricultural labourers to the condi tion of paupers, and was fast depriving the manufacturing artisan of a market for his productions. He pointed out the large amount which was yearly wrung from the poor man, in the shape of duties and taxes, on every ar ticle necessary to his comforts, while the aristocracy and the landowner were exempted, either wholly or in part from their operation. In tracing the influence of the Corn-laws on the commercial prosperity and indus try of the country, he placed the question in a clear and convincing light. If, he observed, by the investment of 2,0001. in the manufacture of cotton, or hardware, they could procure by its exchange 20,0 quarters of foreign wheat, and if in this country by investing a similar sum in the cultivation of the soil, they could procure only 100 quarters, was it not very clear that nature had designed them for a manufacturing Father than an agricultural people ; and was it not their interest to export manufac tures and import corn ? 'Was not every additional quarter of wheat brought, by their own industry, to these shores as actual a creation as if it had sprung up on the very floors of their own workshops ? On an inferior soil they had a greater population than the soil would provide food for, whilst on the other hand they had more manufactures than they could find a home market for. If these manufactures, which they had in excess, were exchanged with other na tions for the necessaries they required, they would have these necessaries in abundance ; for with a perfect facility of exchange, every labourer would be the uncontrolled merchant of his own industry—he would labour less, for less would procure him the full gratification of all his wants ; and the power of regulating wages would not then depend on the arbitrary caprice of the capitalist in an over stocked labour market, b ut wou l d be adjuste d b y the national principles of commerce,' compensating the variations of soil and climate by the calcula ting foresight and ind us t ry o f man. B y f ar the most interesting portion of the lecture, was the clear and deeply important exposition which Mr. Paulton gave of the effects produced on our manufactures in the Continental and other markets of the world by the operation of the Cor4-14wst ig Post. --- ....-/ ' -.....- oved, by returns of the amount of the exports and • . imports of Great Britain to and from America, Russia, i France, and the German States, as compated with those i=i? r of former years, that our manufactured gte4s - would be speedily driven from these countries—that kiiii:l,9f them- not only supplied their own demands, but were enibted to,' undersell the British manufacturer. He, however, was not of opinion that the repeal of those laws, which had created this fearful state of things, would again give them a monopoly of the trade of the globe ; but, looking to their manufacturing and commercial position, he did say that no adventitious or mere political combination of foreign despots could shut up the ports of Europe and their commerce, if the aristocracy had not denied to their people the free right of exchanging the produce of their labour for the allevia tion of their common wants. The lecture oceupied more than two hours, and was listened to throughout with deep interest. Mr. Paulten delivers a second lecture, on Thursday evening, on the influence of the Corn-laws on the Birming ham trade. It is intended, at the close of the second lec ture, to form an Anti-Corn-law Association ; and if this purpose is carried out, the progress of the question can not fail to receive a powerful ,impetus from the men of Birmingham. COLLISION OF THE MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY TRAINS. HAYTON, MONDAY.—This morning a serious accident occurred upon the Manchester and Liverpool Railway, oc casioned by the Grand Junction Railway train coming in contact with that of the Manchester and Liverpool. The facts are these :—The Manchester and Liverpool train, which left the former town at 7 o'clock this morning, hav ing proceeded as far as Hayton stone quarry (about seven miles from Liverpool), the engineer discovered that some thing was wrong in the engine which incapacitated it from going further. The train was accordingly stopped, and on examination it was found that some parts of the ma chinery, denominated " the fire bars," were missing. An engine being kept at the station for the purpose of assisting the trains up the inclined plane, it was resolved to leave the dilapidated engine in exchange for the Pilot engine. While the guard and engineers were engaged in making the exchange, the Grand Junction train, which left London at eight o'clock on the previous evening, was descried at a distance (probably of half a mile. The people at the station seeing this, immediately hoisted the usual flags as signals of distress, intimating to the Grand Junction engineer the necessity of stopping. The Grand Junction engineer, however, did not appear to have understood the signal, as the progress of the train did not seem to be in the least checked. Fearing the conse quences of a concussion, the guard of the Manchester train desired his passengers immediately to alight. In a hurried manner they did so, with the exception of three or four, one of whom was asleep in the mail carriage. Almost immediately after the majority of the passengers had got out the Grand Junction train came up, and with fearful violence came in contact with the train. The consequence was, that four of the carriages, including the mail carriage, were smashed to atoms. The gentleman in the mail carriage, who was a partner in the firm of Smith, Downes, and Co., calico-printers of Marsden-square, Manchester, had one of his legs broken, and was otherwise seriously injured in various parts of the body. Two butchers and three or four other persons who remained in the carriages were also much bruised about the face and body, but were not seriously injured. If the pas sengers had not alighted, the consequences would have been dreadful, as the carriages were shattered to pieces.. One of the passengers was so covered with timber that he was extricated with great difficulty. It is considered by many that the railway carriages both on the Manchester and Liverpool Railway and the Grand Junction are too slightly built, and that if the beams had been stronger the destruction would not have been so great. The damage sustained is estimated at 6001. The injured passen gers were conveyed to an adjoining house, where sur gical assistance was sent for ; they were subsequently taken back to Manchester by the Liverpool train. It is difficult to say to whom the blame is attachable in this accident. The people of the Manchester train stated, that th e eng i neer o f th e G ran d J unc ti on was negli gent in not attending to the signal. He states, ho weve r, that the signal was perceived immediately after coming down the inclined pl ane , w h en h e p l ace d th e " w hi s tl e " on as a signal to the guard to put on the break, and that the fireman put the break on the tender. Notwithstanding this the velocity caused by the inclined plane was so great as to overpower all command of the engine. A meeting of the Directors of the two railway Companies was held this afternoon for the purpose of making inquiries into the cause of the accident, but as the Directors generally keep their own counsel in these matters the result is not known. The accident occurred within a few hundred yards of the spot where the two men were killed about a fortnight ago. GAMING-HOUSES.—The following notice has been extensively circulated in the parish of St. James, West minster, by order of the vestry :—" The vestry baying commenced an inquiry into the number and nature of the gaming-houses in this parish, with the view of effectually suppressing the same, will feel thankful for any information which may assist in:a successful prosecution of that inquiry. All such communications, addressed to the vestry clerk, will be received and treated as strictly confidential. Owners of property, and rate-payers generally, are earnestly cau tioned against letting their houses or apartments for the purposes of gaming." THE ESCAPE OF THELLER AND THE OTHER TILAITORS.—We learn with great regret that the sentries over the State prisoners, whose escape from the citadel of Quebec has excited so great a sensation in Canada, were four privates of the Guards. They are, of course, under arrest, and will speedily be tried by a Court-Martial. A very strong suspicion is said to prevail that they were bribed to connive at the evasion of their prisoners.—Morn- in consequence of the late sudden transitions in the weather, pulmonary and rheumatic complaints are preva lent, but nothing of an epidemical character is reported by the medical practitioners. The metropolis, on the whole is healthy, and the complaints are only those that are common in the month of November. The intimacy between the Duke of Wellington and the venerable Earl of Westmorland has been of long con tinuance, as also that with the Duke of Rutland. The Duke was aide-de-camp to the Earl nearly 40 years ago, when he was Viceroy of Ireland, and was a great favourite at Dublin Castle when the Duke of Rutland's father was Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland. TAKING IT COOLLY.—AS the Firefly was coming into dock in the Hull basin, on Monday morning, a sailor fell overboard ; he sank, but instantly rose again., when his messmates threw a rope to him, which he caught hold of, and they began to haul him on board, upon which Jack called out, " Avast there, leave go hauling ; I fell over board by myself, and I'll get on board by myself ;" which he effected by climbing up the ship's side, as if nothing had happened.—Hull Paper. Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'clock, the body of a young man was found in the Regent's Canal, near the entrance of the tunnel between Pentonville and Islington. The deceased was dressed in a light-blue coat, with bright buttons, black waistcoat, much worn, and drab trowsers.
